As a whole group we overviewed the wiki and how we might utilize it for our work. We determined what participants will be doing in independent work time.
Each person then had independent work time. Some members worked together on a common project.
We concluded our time by sharing what we experimented with determined what would be shared on the wiki and learned how to do that.
Each person then responded to discussion questions on wiki either on the spot or later at home.
Classroom application: What are students learning and doing as a result of what the TSG is learning and doing?
Most participants reported how they will use their independent projects with students and staff on the Individual Work page of the wiki.
Did you examine student work today? No
Other: Teachers talked about student projects they worked on last school year and how they plan to change them for next year. Talked about what they learned about students as a result of the projects and how they need to address additional information in the future. (example: how to determine if a web site is credible)
General comments … There is such an overwhelming amout of technology and innovations that it was a challenge to limit ourselves to one topic each.
